After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

But don't get me wrong, it's not that they are crazy, it's just that almost all the students are looking forward to the important event tonight - the test of courage.

The so-called test of courage is one of the long-standing customs in Neon, which refers to testing people's courage in the form of games.

The venues for the tests are usually cemeteries, shrines, ruins, and other places that exude a terrifying atmosphere. With the changing times, today's tests of courage are usually held by schools or certain sports clubs and societies during training camps in safe but also terrifying cemeteries or narrow mountain roads.

It is usually held in the dark of night because people are born with a fear of darkness and terrified of unknown potential things. In order to make the game more interesting, some participants will usually try their best to scare people, such as preparing scary props in advance along a pre-set route, or simply taking part in the game themselves, dressing up as ghosts and jumping out to scare people.

In view of the fine tradition of Shuchiin, this activity has been inherited and is carried out every time the forest school is held. This is not only to dispel the students' fatigue caused by learning, but also to satisfy their vigorous energy that has nowhere to vent to a certain extent.

This is certainly a good thing, but in fact there have been negative effects in the past that have made it difficult to achieve the original educational purpose - that is, the vast majority of students neglected basic learning because they were too eager for the test of courage, and some students even went on a collective strike because they were dissatisfied with the school's slow schedule.

Naturally, the initiator of the strike was persuaded to withdraw, but this incident also made the school realize the importance of students' own ideas, so later on, the school gradually transferred the power of related activities to the student union, allowing the students to complete the activities themselves.

In order to prevent similar strikes from happening, a rule was formulated - anyone whose academic performance did not meet the standards during the forest school would not be allowed to participate in any extracurricular activities, and would be required to stay behind to continue tutoring when the forest school ended.

Later, some additional rules were gradually added on the basis of this regulation - during the forest school, those who perform well in each course can get extra points on the test; those who get excellent results in the final test will have the right to choose the role they play independently and can designate an additional person as a partner.

There are many such regulations, and they are basically to allow students to relax and have fun while not forgetting to maintain their learning progress and enthusiasm.

This is what the previous student unions who proposed these regulations said.

So the previous scene happened. When Natsukawa Kanade returned to his class, he looked at his classmates who seemed to be competing for the right to choose a mate first. For the first time, he felt that being too enthusiastic was not a good thing.

At least this scene is quite scary. After all, people who are in the know will naturally know that you are rushing to answer the teacher's questions, but people who are not in the know are very likely to regard this as a brainwashing scene of a cult.

The only thing that made Natsukawa Kanade laugh was that even though everyone seemed so enthusiastic, in the end only a few people were able to get the right to make their own choices.

As mentioned before, students in their youth have countless pornographic garbage in their minds. Even though it is so difficult to compete for places, it is still difficult to stop their enthusiasm.

After all, who would refuse to go on a trip to the woods with someone they like? Even if there is no one they like, it might be possible to find someone familiar and walk hand in hand with them?

Anyway, many criminals have been caught in the act in the past. Fortunately, everyone is quite well-mannered and there have not been many particularly excessive incidents. At most, they just hold hands or give a kiss, which is still within the acceptable range.

The most important thing is that if you don’t have a crush on someone, it’s not a problem, because if you don’t have any ideas, you can just dress up as a ghost! Isn’t it fun to dress up as a ghost to scare people and break up those seemingly loving couples? !

At least Natsukawa Kanade himself was quite moved, and no one would recognize him after he dressed up as a ghost, which allowed him to vent his feelings.

The only thing that worries Natsukawa Kanade is the first-year students. Although Ishigami is the finale disciplinary member, as for Iino Miko... she might not be able to bear this kind of scene and make a big fuss?

But there was nothing he could do and he could only pray that nothing went wrong over there.

133. It’s a two-way journey, great!

In a blink of an eye, the boring class time was over, but almost no students in the class wanted to leave the class. Instead, they found their friends and began to discuss their future plans.

"Mahiru-chan, who are you looking for as your partner for tonight's event?"

The trio that appeared in the swimming pool incident before found Shiina Mahiru.

In fact, after spending some time together, Shiina Mahiru had already become friends with them, and she was the only one to confide in them about things like this.

"Eh? Me?" The angel had just packed up his things when he was surrounded unexpectedly. "How would I know who my partner is? It's not my choice..."

"You're lying~, with your good grades like Mahiru, there will be no problem. Besides, isn't it the student council that decides who will be your partner?"

"Well, even if that's the case, I don't know who to be with..." After hearing the words "student union", Angel's face turned red. How could she not know what these people were thinking, but she just refused to admit defeat.

"Eh~~~really?" One of the girls who seemed to be the leader said in a playful tone, "In that case... can Mahiru give me the chance? Actually, there is someone I have always wanted to invite~"

"Who is it?" the angel asked curiously. She had never heard the other party mention it before and was a little surprised for a moment.

"Of course it's our student council president! Not only is he handsome, he's also first-rate in athletic ability and academics, and most importantly, he's very respected! Wouldn't it be so prestigious if he became your boyfriend?!" The other two also nodded in agreement.

"No!" Miss Angel blurted out subconsciously, but she realized the next second that she was being tricked.

"No, no, that's not what I meant... I meant... the president is very busy, so we shouldn't go over and disturb him..." Although he tried to explain, his voice became weaker and weaker.

The others looked at each other and started laughing.

"We haven't said anything yet, Mahiru-kun is really impatient~"

"Okay, okay, stop teasing her. If you continue teasing her, she will run away with a red face again."

"But seriously, this is a very rare opportunity, Mahiru, you must seize it. You know, there are many girls who covet an outstanding boy like the president. If it weren't for you, I would want to pursue him myself."

After that, several people started to agree with him, and even started discussing what advantages each other had.

As Shiina Mahiru listened, she became more and more involved. If she wasn't so embarrassed, she would have wanted to join them and list out some of the advantages that the other party had missed but had shown in front of her.

"So, dear Mahiru, you'd better act quickly. If you delay any longer, your handsome sweetheart might be snatched away by someone else." After saying that, he pointed in a direction.

So Miss Angel's eyes turned over, and the next moment she saw the person surrounded by the crowd -

"I know everyone wants to participate with their friends, but rules are rules. I can't make arrangements for everyone privately. I can only plan according to the student numbers." The smile on Xiachuan Kanade's face remained unchanged, but he felt helpless in his heart.

Although it is true that the final list confirmation was handed over to the Student Union, the personnel arrangements had already been determined. The Student Union could not actually do much. Their responsibility was just to help allocate those students who used the right of independent selection and to ensure that every student had a partner and was not left behind.

So who leaked this information? Even if they can really change the list, you can't spread it everywhere!

Anyway, things are quite troublesome now. In order to maintain his image, he can't just walk away, but these classmates are too enthusiastic to let him go...

What he didn't know was that there were several pairs of eyes on the outskirts of the crowd, staring at him. One of the glances was filled with passionate emotions, so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at.

Of course it’s the angel.

"Handsome and all that... that's too exaggerated." Shiina Mahiru retorted. She tried hard to act like she didn't care that much, but ripples were already forming in her heart.

They were right. Kanade was such an outstanding person and would attract everyone's attention...

"Hehe, you only deny that he's handsome."

"That's right, you still say you don't care, but now your eyes are almost sunken." Several people teased Shiina Mahiru while watching the situation on Natsukawa Kanade's side, while not forgetting their original intentions.

"Speaking of which, there are so many people over there. Maybe someone among them will be like me and plan to invite the president to attend. That's great~, I can say whatever I want without worrying about anything..."

As he spoke, he began to play with Miss Angel's little hands.

"I just don't know if the president will agree to it. Maybe he has already decided who he wants to be with, right? Mahiru-chan."

"I, how would I know..." Miss Angel's eyes were a little evasive. She knew who her friends were referring to, but what they didn't know was that besides her, there were really many other outstanding girls who liked him.

For example, the blonde girl I met that day was as cute as a porcelain doll, and the domineering vice president was also very beautiful...

If they invited him, would he agree? Or...

Shiina Mahiru shook her head and forced herself to stop thinking about it.

Although she really wanted to invite Zou, what if he had already made an appointment with someone else? If she went there, it would only embarrass him, and she naturally didn't want to do that.

"Okay, okay, stop looking. Let's go eat and have a good rest in the afternoon. We still have activities to attend in the evening." After saying that, Shiina Mahiru used all her strength to push several people out of the classroom.

For her, if she continued to watch, she might change her mind and rush forward regardless of the consequences.

Xia Chuan Zou, who was in the center of the crowd, naturally had no idea what was happening on the other side of the classroom. He was still busy dealing with the enthusiastic classmates and couldn't find any breakthrough for a long time.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should just "ignore everything and leave", a familiar and pleasant voice rang out.

"Excuse me, is President Xiachuan here?"

It was a familiar voice that I was used to hearing, but at this moment it sounded like the sound of nature.

It's his vice-chairman! Kaguya-san comes to the rescue!

"I'm here!" Xia Chuan Zou said loudly, and then said while parting the crowd, "I'm sorry, there may be some matters of the Student Union that need my attention. Excuse me, everyone."

As expected of him as his vice president, he is truly his best deputy! This was the only thought in Natsukawa Zou's mind at the moment.

But on the surface he still looked businesslike and would never show any strange expression in front of others.

After hearing what Xiachuan Zou said, although the others were unwilling, they had no choice but to let him go. After all, if they continued to make trouble, it might not be a matter of not getting the right to choose. They might even be framed and arranged to team up with a boy they didn't even know to play a test of courage game in the dark.

"Sorry for the wait. It's about the student council, right?"

Even though he was allowed to go, the show still had to be completed, so Natsukawa Kanade acted as if he had already made an appointment with Shinomiya Kaguya.

As for the latter, he blinked slightly. He was originally a little confused about why the president said that, but suddenly he saw the group of people behind him who had not yet dispersed. Then he thought about the purpose of his coming here, and immediately understood what happened. So he cooperated very well:

"No, I didn't wait long." Kaguya Shinomiya lifted her hair by her ears, raised her head slightly, looked at the other person, with a gentle smile on her face.

Even though the two had not greeted each other beforehand, they actually cooperated very well and so seamlessly that no one discovered the truth.

This is the bond between her and the president! This is the proof that they are a match made in heaven! Maybe the president is thinking the same thing as she is!

Shinomiya Kaguya thought, this time it’s a two-way journey!

Great!

134. The president is really interested in me!

"Speaking of which, Kaguya, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After walking out of the teaching building with Kaguya Shinomiya, Natsukawa Kanade asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Kaguya Shinomiya originally wanted to say a few words of greeting first, but suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

The president... called her name? ? ? !

And you still say you don't like her?! This is clearly a clear indication!

"Why did the president suddenly call my name? Could it be that..." Miss Sha Diao had a faint smile on her face, thinking that Xiao Ai was just talking nonsense.

For those who have never been in a relationship, it's just talk.

"Uh...is it not okay?" Xia Chuan Zou didn't think too much about it. He just felt that after all they had spent so much time together, it should be okay to call him by his name or something, right?

After all, when he was with Mahiru before, she mentioned that good friends should call each other by their names. He thought it made sense, and he also thought that he had a pretty good relationship with Shinomiya Kaguya, so he shouldn't be rejected.

"Sorry, if you don't like it..."

"No way! Of course I like him!" Miss Sha Diao retorted subconsciously, but she regretted it right after she blurted it out. She felt that she had overreacted. What if the president misunderstood that she liked him?

"I'm just talking about calling you by your name, please don't misunderstand anything..."

The more she explained, the more it felt like she was hiding something. She, who was usually elegant and intelligent, now seemed stupid, like a fool who was in love.

"Of course I know, there is no misunderstanding, don't worry." Xia Chuan Zou nodded.

Although this kind of tsundere sentence structure seems quite familiar, it did not come from Eriri after all, and Kaguya doesn't seem to have any tsundere attributes, so he naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

"..." However, Miss Sha Diao was already a little crazy.

Why are you so obedient to her at this time? You must have misunderstood something!

I suddenly felt anxious and worried. I really didn't want the president to find out my true feelings, but I couldn't help wondering what would happen if he found out? Would he confess to her regardless?

But being able to "call each other by name" is already great! This is clearly a big victory for Kaguya-chan!

The strategy president is just around the corner!

"So what do you want to talk to me about?" Xiachuan Zou asked curiously. Of course, there was no problem with chatting, but he would be very busy next and would not have much free time to do other things.

"It's about the upcoming test of courage competition." Shinomiya Kaguya calmed down her emotions and put on the appearance of an elegant young lady again.

"Actually, it's what the school wants." Shinomiya Kaguya paused, then continued, "They hope that we can conduct a thorough inspection of each process of the conference, eliminate all potential safety hazards, and ensure the safety of the students."

"And I think this is indeed necessary. As a representative of an excellent school, Xiuzhiyuan's every move is widely watched by the outside world. The students here will become excellent social talents in the future. These are all valuable resources. It is certainly not excessive to be cautious... And the most important thing is that if something really happens during the conference, our student union will not be able to escape responsibility."

As the best assistant to the best student council president in history, Kaguya Shinomiya will not tolerate any stain on the person she assists. Besides, if she is going to do something, she must do it to the best of her ability! This is the family motto of their Shinomiya family!

"Although there have been inspections by members of the Discipline Inspection Department, it is never too cautious in this matter, so my suggestion is to participate in the entire process of the conference as an experiencer. Even if something does happen at that time, we can react quickly and solve it."

"Of course, President, you don't have to worry about the workload. I will accompany you throughout the whole process. Just leave the minor trivial matters to me..." Shinomiya Kaguya said word by word with a businesslike expression on her face.

But in my heart——

What a joke! How could she focus on such an unimportant task when she had such a rare opportunity? She could leave such inexplicable things to others. She just needed to spend a wonderful night with the president!
